Serious Concord crash injures Mass. woman

Concord police said Melissa S. Gildersleeve, 28, was taken to Concord Hospital with life-threatening injuries after the 9 p.m. crash. Police say speed may have been a factor in the crash.

A 25-year-old male passenger who was not identified by police was able to get out of the car on his own before police arrived. He was also taken to Concord Hospital for what police are calling non-life-threatening injuries.
